Not Talking in Class? - a Public Speaking Workshop with Holly Weeks, HKS Adjunct Lecturer

Not Speaking in Class?

If you were quiet in the beginning and now it’s hard to start
speaking; if you prep what you have to say but you get nervous and
it all comes out in a rush; if you think other people’s thoughts
are more focused than yours; if it takes you longer to get your
point out and more assertive people don’t wait for you to finish;
if you’re not confident of your English; if you feel like your
classmates don’t listen to you as you listen to them; if you lack
confidence in the value you are adding to discussions—then this
workshop can help you speak up and be heard better, feel more
confident, and both give and get full value in your
classes.
